VERZUZ Presents: Big Daddy Kane vs KRS-One, October 17

[Heavy_Handz]

Oh, I'm not saying he wasn't dope. I'm saying I don't think Ruck was being serious bigging him up back then. He was joking around the whole interview, from his responses to his top 5 favorite albums, to Annette Funicello's Greatest Hits album being one of the dopest albums ever.

I used to watch these interviews and videos all the time cuz this was obviously like 10-15yrs before Youtube was around.

There's a clip Duck Down uploaded on Youtube of that interview but the part where they were talking about Mr. Mike, Tela, and Suave House was at the very end of the interview and that part isn't uploaded.





I'm pretty sure one of my older brothers lost that VHS tape though cuz it had that Mad TV OJ sketch on it and I let him hold it since we all thought it was hilarious. He used to show it to his friends all the time and it ended up missing on some Raekwon's Killer tape shyt.

Yo it’s crazy how Sean P really changed from being Ruck and playing the background to really later on championing the whole BCC movement. True legend.

I don't think Kane performed Another victory. Another favorite of mines from him is the Beef is on.

Okay. My memory was playing tricks on me.

I listened to this before I saw the battle and found it to be quite the opposite with KRS. I do agree with the point about him relying on the crowd participation too much, but other than that...I can't complain.

He was hype, Mad Lion had the crowd jumping and so on.

I do agree with the points about Kane being fluid and composed but KRS put on a show! I'm not even a KRS fan, I like Kane more. Either way, I think whoever paid for this live got their moneys worth.

Kane did his thing the other nite but KRS has been a part of too many memorable moments. Plus his personality is so dominant that it would be tough for anybody to share the stage with him. Both of them are goats but KRS is such an institution in hip hop and everybody knows it

 

[NormanConnors]

Based off of that event The God would've took either Kane or Kris out. Easy work.

What determines who "won" a Verzuz to you? Just curious. Is it whose catalog is more known? Who performs their shyt better? Who gets more reaction from the viewers/audience? It seems like a case by case thing with the couple I've watched...

With the Lox and Dipset is was about performance. With Fat Joe and Ja it was about the more familiar/remembered records. With Short and E-40 it wasn't about shyt, it was a party. With Kane and KRS it seems like for some it was only about whose records got more crowd reaction, performance meant nothing. shyt is tricky.

Me and Blaq Poet were trying to egg Mc Shan on to make a surprise appearance and he told us Man Fukk that. KRS still ducking him ​

For me, I usually got it 70-80% figured out in my head before the Verzuz. It’s all about who has the records that mean more to me. So basically it’s all about catalog. But anything can happen on that stage. Maybe somebody plays all the wrong records? Maybe their performance is lacking? Maybe the crowd is really responding to a certain record? But even then, i have to respect the crowd and believe they share the same cultural sensibilities as me. With Joe and Ja, when the crowd no sold the I Shot Ya remix but lost their minds for Between You and Me, I knew this was a crowd that didn’t understand hip hop the way I did. Not to say anything is wrong with preferring that record, but it’s not what I’m about.
And even then, sometimes a song surprises you. When Rza played Run, I wasn’t expecting it, hadn’t listened to it in over a decade. But man it caught me off guard

As I’m looking at UFC 268 they are playing 50 Cent. All of a sudden it dawned on me.

Busta’s contender needs to be 50 Cent.
